Heh. And people say my proposal is readical.

I love this bit: "All United States Governmental Entities shall be 
subject to suit, and agree to be subject to suit, in the following 
(non-exclusive) list of fora: Ottawa, Canada, London, England, and 
Paris, France. "

Especially in conjunction with this bit: "By using, copying, modifying, 
changing, performing, displaying or distributing the Software covered by 
this License Agreement, any Governmental Entity, or Governmental Person 
hereby voluntarily and irrevocably consents -- for purposes of any 
third-party action to remedy human rights violations and other 
violations..."

I have a lot of sympathy with the intent of this license, but agree that 
it may not be what Creative Commons had in mind...
